Nonviolent Communication is wack
Nonviolent Communication is wack
A new form of tone policing and making white people feel good about being a piece of shit bc at least they’ve learned how to mask their actions with speech that’s non threatening.
why are you so aggressive I'm just asking questions
I suspect this isn't what it actually is supposed to be, but I saw a whole thing about removing "violent" terms from your vocabulary that were 90% innocuous turns of phrase and I immediately dismissed it.
Just because you say it in really nice words doesn't make your ideas harmless, and just because you are vulgar or even threatening (or just using normal ass idioms) doesn't make your ideas harmful or "violent"
The part about not assigning blame helps a lot of people get out of the trap of tallying favors and grievances. That said, he sells his books by pyramid scheme, dresses it up in pseudoscience and is needlessly dogmatic.

Definitely an eye opener when i heard about it and realized that a lot of the weird toxic positivity white people in my circles were doing prescriptivist cult shit.
